Dreams do come true.

For the first time in my life I don’t know how to express what I’m feeling. I remember watching Dr. King on TV. I remember the day Dr. King was assassinated. I remember asking my mother why black people are being treated like that. I remember the very first day I attended school with a person of a different color. I remember my white friend telling me he couldn’t play with me anymore. Neither one of us knew why at that time. And I remember the “I Have A Dream” speech. I still wipe a tear when I hear or think about that speech. I remember my dad’s reaction when Shirley Chisholm announced she was running for President. He said a black woman or a black man would never be President of this country. Well I called my dad while the President was delivering his speech. I asked him did he ever think we would see this day. A black man is being sworn in as President of The United States on a holiday celebrating the life and dreams of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.! Dreams do come true.
